Write a 5 page essay on Synopsis of the Two Films.

A look at most of the Western films, one realizes that they always involve cowboy stories, banditry, masculinity, the interaction of white American with Indians and Mexicans and widespread lawlessness. Even Western films that have a different place and time setting very much bring out these characteristics of the Western Genre. The motion picture has continued to play an important role through fiction to bring out history significance of the West and the social issues that plagued the society. According to Kirby, the motion picture has managed to preserve the historical social issues that have been the subject of analysis by many in the contemporary American society (156). The paper looks at how the Western Genre continues to bring out some social issues that were faced in remote American towns during the early and late 19th Century, through two films. 3:10 to Yuma and The Magnificient Seven.

Brief Synopsis of the two Films. 3:10 to Yuma is a film narrating the story of a poor and estranged rancher called Evans who is at odds with a fellow rancher called Hollander concerning a debt Evans owes Hollander and a dispute over grazing land. Hollander in a bid to ensure the repayment of the debt hires hooligans to set ablaze the barn of Evans. In an apparent twist, Evans manages to get an offer worth $200 to deliver a notorious bandit called Ben Wade for a train bound to Yuma prosecution. The train leaves to Yuma at 3:10 PM hence the name of the film 3:10 to Yuma (Crowe).

The Magnificent Seven, on the other hand, is the film of the Western Genre set on a village in the United States bordering Mexico. The village is facing a threat of being raided by bandits headed by brute called Calvera who visit the village to loot the occupants of their harvest. Some of the villagers decide to go to an American town to buy guns but on their way, they manage to gather a group of seven gunmen and the villagers&nbsp.convince the gunmen to help them to protect their village from their bandits (Brynner).&nbsp.
